Some of my conspiracy forums are saying supposedly this is part of a corruption sweep agreement that will include America (rumors of sealed indictments), designed to get "deep state" people to start singing.

Not saying its true, but just thought it might add context.

Never forget who created the house of saud in the first place.




I'm seeing the same thing, in relatively mainstream conservative fora.

The most convincing part of this seems to be that Alwaleed bin Talil has longstanding ties with the US political system, particularly on the left. His past work with the Podestas has many eyebrows raised.

There are also dozens of sealed federal indictments pending, which I'm told is quite unusual. The assumption seems to be that they are related to Mueller's investigation although I've seen no compelling evidence that this is the case, aside from timing and wishful thinking.

Neither the total number, nor timing, is particularly unusual; then speculation about Mueller is mostly based on the number in D.C. between the Manafort and Papadopoulos indictments being somewhat higher than would be expected by random chance, but even that is fairly weak. There is basically zero evidence of anything unusual with sealed indictments.


The parties involved in the sealed indictments are actually leaked in the RSS feed.

Conspiracy theories were so much more fun when they were handcrafted artisanal things rather than weaponized administration propaganda.


Even better conspiracy theory. What if all conspiracy theories are weaponized administration propaganda :O.


Is this the theory you saw?
